Pipettes
Now these are very useful when airbrushing or just mixing paint. One of our regular shop customers - Reece - has presented us with substantial number of 3ml pipettes. They are similar to this:

Whilst stocks last, we shall be including 3 of these in every mail order and internet delivery that we make. It will happen automatically, so there is no need to ask. If you don't get some, then we have run out. Sorry.

Change to our web site

We recently made a change to the web site so that you could go straight to the New Arrivals page, using a link in the Blog, and start building a basket from there.This has worked so well that we have now extended to web site to enable you to do the same for linking through to an individual item.


To show how this works, try the following:



This will click you straight through to this item on the web site and create a basket for you.

Please let me know what you think, along with any other comments about the current web site. As we write the softweare for the website, we can normally accommodate additional features fairly easily.

News for 6th March 2010

First off, we now have a Twitter account. We are trying to put anything new on there first - SBX Twitter.

Secondly, we have a section on IPMS Locate and Cement.

The two best sellers this week were the new Eduard Fw190 D-9 in 1/48th - EDK8184 - at £24.99, and the Airfix Buccaneer AX04049 - £10.99.

We have a great little deal on pipettes, if you use these for measuring paint and thinners. The price, whilst stocks last, is 30p per pipette, which is very cheap against the Revell pack of 6 for £3.18. The code for these is SBXPIP. There is no limit on quantity so buy what you need.

The interesting releases of the week are three Eduard Kits

	EDK8131 1/48th Fokker D V.III O.A.W. £24.99
	Eduard Weekend EDK8412 1:48 - Hanriot HD.1 £11.75
	Eduard EDK8146 1:48 - I-16 Type 17 £17.50

We are still expecting the Modelmaster range of Enamels but probably not for a few weeks.

New Arrivals and News -20th February 2010

Well, if it was hard last week to find some interesting
'stuff' then this week is even harder - unless you are into MGBs
that is. As the new arrivals list is so short, we have included
all the new release decals to make it look a bit longer. The best
news this week is that the Marivox range of 1/72nd Swedish topics
is available again.

MV7201£10.99 Saab J-22A/B Swedish Fighter with improved decals and etched part. Up-graded version...

MV7202 £13.90 Saab 105 Demonstrator and SK-60A/B/C/D versions Decals for 9 aircraft

That's all for this week. Check out the weekly list of new

New Arrivals and News -13th February 2010

Not too much of excitement this week. It has been difficult to select new items to feature here.

Academy are releasing some interesting, if not exciting, models over the last few weeks and this week is no exception. Two of note are as follows:

AC13221 - M4A3E8 Easy Eight WWII Korea (with Master Box figs).
This one is following the trend with both Tamiya and others of including some Eastern Europe made figures in their armour or aircraft sets. This kit is a nice combination centred on the Korean War and is good value at £24.99.










AC12422 F/A-18D Hornet US Marines (twin-seat) £18.99
Another very nice Marines Corp Hornet at what is seen nowadays as a 'reasonable' price for a quality 1/72nd scale kit (how times have changed!).











Web Site News
Well, the new facility for re-using an existing credit card seems to have worked well and is liked by everyone. The next step is to provide a look up on existing orders. We are hoping to implement this over the next two weeks. This will give you a list of all your outstanding items along with expected shipping dates.

We have completed our testing on the weekly newsletter so look out for that to be arriving over the next few days. If you haven't signed up for it, send me an e-mail (david@sbxmodelshop.co.uk) and I will add you to the list. Expect some great special offers.
We are planning on two great offers over the coming few weeks.

• One will probably be a paint offer along the lines of 'buy x bottles and get y bottles free'.
• Another will be rather special. Along with our of our suppliers, we will be offering a range of special sets comprising a kit (starting with the Hobby Boss range) and all the attendent Eduard etched and masks. These sets will start at around 15% discount of the retail price but we are hoping to make that 20% on some sets.

Incidentally, we are expecting to be able to offer Testors Model Master enamels soon - this is a great range of FS matched paints that have a huge reputation in the US and will now be available for worldwide shipment from us - without the purchase of a kit, of course.

That's all for this week. Check out the weekly list of new arrivals here!
